1235 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 19-unit apartment building at 1235 Hyde Street, Nob Hill, owned by Fong 2 LP, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1912. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a fire alarm system upgrade in October 2024 to comply with SFFC requirements and a comprehensive renovation of Unit #4 in mid-2023, which included electrical rewiring, bathroom and kitchen remodeling, and insulation improvements. The property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

However, there are currently open violations related to sleeping area requirements as of January 2025, along with past fire alarm system and street numbering issues from 2023 that were corrected by September 2023. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to safety systems, including a new steam heating boiler installation in 2015 and various electrical system upgrades. In recent years, there have been multiple complaints regarding maintenance matters, including a utility box noise issue in 2023 and general maintenance concerns in 2024.

While most historical violations and complaints from 2009-2015 have been resolved, there are some recurring maintenance patterns, particularly related to fire safety systems and general upkeep. The property has also required several street space permits over the years, with the most recent permits issued in 2017. Recent 311 calls in 2024 indicate some ongoing issues with garbage and debris on the property, though these were categorized as not in scope for direct building responsibility.
